Summary of Unit A brief snapshot, as if someone asked you to briefly and clearly describe the intent of the lesson or project.
Students will create a digital timeline in iMovie using still images and voice over. The students will need to also identify the most important contribution that their person made to our life today and end their timeline referring back to the contribution. The unit will end with students sharing their timelines for the class and discussing the major contributions and impacts that their people made to our lives today.
Essential Questions What will guide student inquiry?
